• Thankful 30: Day 5

  

  Day Five: I am thankful for VOTING 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I took my daughter with me to hit the polls today. 10 important propositions we’re on the ballots for Texans to consider.

• Mom the Trickster

  

  I typically wake up at 2:30 AM and get straight to work, drinking only some water. I’d love to start my day with a healthy smoothie, but I cannot be waking my family up with noisy kitchen gadgets that early!

  Once most teachers realized the orange, official VIPKid hoodie was the reward for signing the 6th contract, they looked forward to reaching that goal of three years. Some even scoffed that they couldn’t just buy it. Others didn’t care because they don’t look good in orange. Personally, as I near the end of my second […]

  I have the same philosophy on animals as I do humans. If it is not hurting you in anyway, or potentially going to hurt you—don’t kill it. I am from a rural community where hunting is standard. For many families, the deer that are killed legally during hunting season, or their cows that are slaughtered, […]

• Weather or Not

  As I wash dishes at my grandmother’s kitchen sink, I hear the melody of the wind chimes she is hanging outside. The warm sun shines through and I know it is going to be another hot, Texas day. I know I am not the only one who always wishes it were a different season. During […]
